TusksMemberQuote:Yes generally speaking enough current being supplied is the main issue. If you run a 300mA supply and the pedal needs 200mA it should be fine. The thing to remember is that if it’s a regulated DC power supply you will never have a problem.
Unrelated but interesting to note is that I had a Seymour Duncan Twin Tube pedal that was needing about 760mA at 12Vac or thereabouts. I used a 12Vac 2amp supply and it made the internal power supply transformer run very hot. This is because the supply was an unregulated AC supply. Sure it would run 12Vac at 2amps, but at only 1/3 the current needed it wasn’t loaded down enough to settle at 12Vac. In short the transformer was seeing higher than 12Vac…………

I think I’m just going to get in touch with Midi Solutions.
TusksMemberQuote:Hi Tusks,I’ve been trying to use MIDI to control my HOG2 and run into some problems.
Once you’ve saved a preset to the memory of your 8-step you can call it in one of two ways (with MIDI):
– send a Program Change command with a value that corresponds to where you saved your patch (IE PC no. 48 will call preset 48)
or
– send a CC118 message with a value that corresponds to the preset (CC118 with a value of 48 will call preset 48)
Whatever you’re using to control the pedal should have some facility to send a Program Change and I get the impression this is the best way of doing it; however, my GT-100 can only send a Program Change when I switch patches.
It is also, apparently, impossible to save a preset as “Bypassed”, which means that if you want to use your pedal you have to have a preset loaded and ACTIVE all the time.
Hope that helps.
Ben
Thanks Ben, Bypassing the pedal is not an issue for me and my set up, the only thing that screws my head is how to send a cc118 message with a value of (x), does this have to be done via a computer or something?
